Beware of buying third party power supplies to save time and hassle.

EVGA SuperNova was dispatched and delivered to my house within two days. When I received the power supply, I plugged it into the computer and turned it on. It looks like the PSU worked because I was able to boot Windows. Things got worse when I turned my computer back on. I had to turn off the computer because I forgot to connect the case fans. After plugging them in, I tried turning on the system and found that my computer would not boot. The power supply made my motherboard cycle on and off after a click. I couldn't figure out this problem so I immediately took it to a PC repair shop who was able to diagnose this problem for me. I've been told that BP is the main culprit for all my problems. I strongly recommend not purchasing any third party power supplies as they cannot replace them once the offer has expired. Due to this issue, waiting for a new power supply unit may take longer than expected. Beware of third parties!

Pros
